Happy Monday, Mojo friends! Since it's the last week of the month, we like to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards, so we've given you a Round or Square option. Try a round card, a square card or both if you're feeling really inspired!! {If you're not sure how to make a round card, I described my process in the 2nd paragraph of this post on my blog a while back.} And for those unsure about square cards a 4.25" square is a perfect size to start with, and it will even fit in a regular A2 envelope.

As always, feel free to substitute if you don't have a specific shape - just make the sketch work for you! To play along, make a project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery. Then leave a link to your project using the linking widget at the bottom of this post. There is no time limit, we're playing just for fun. You can always play any week at any time, but the linking form is scheduled to close at 8:00pm (Mountain) on Sunday night. That way there's no confusion which link list is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO221.

For inspiration using this sketch, please visit our design team's blogs, which are the first 4 thumbnails on this week's linky list:

Click the "Click here to Enter" link above for the entry form. Please type your name or screen name in the Caption or Title field, then choose the link and photo you'd like to enter. Please link directly to your specific blog post with your card in it, and not your general blog url.Note: If you have trouble linking, try entering the link to your card, then choosing From File instead of From Web. Then just browse to where your picture is saved on your computer to get your thumbnail. Sometimes it takes a moment for your picture to show up after you've used the widget. If it doesn't appear right away, click the control button + F5 to refresh the images on the page.
